Architecture and Design
Designed by world renowned architect David M. Schwarz, our cultural campus will include the 2,050-seat Reynolds Hall, complete with a full orchestra pit capable of seating up to 100 musicians; the 300-seat cabaret theater that overlooks Symphony Park and is ideal for jazz, cabaret and other performances best seen and heard in an intimate setting; and the 200-seat studio theater, ideal for rehearsals, children’s theater, community events and private social gatherings.
The theaters have been meticulously designed by theater consultants Fisher Dachs Associates and acoustician firm Akustiks, to provide optimal sightlines and refined acoustics. As a result, performers and patrons will connect like never before. State-of-the-art recording equipment will preserve performances for the future, ensuring that they will continue to be enjoyed as digital masterpieces.
In the middle of it all will be an expansive courtyard designed for patrons to gather and mingle before and after performances. This beautiful outdoor space will act as a conduit between the theaters and the Boman Pavilion, which will house offices, classrooms, and additional multipurpose rooms suitable for workshops and presentations.
And 16 stories above it all will be an incredible bell tower with 46 handcrafted bronze bells capable of a four-octave carillon. Throughout the day they will ring in celebration of all that The Smith Center brings to our city.
